Route description

This northbound walking variant starts east of Shelomok, approaches the named riverbank outcrop and continues beside the Tom River. It then crosses the Basandayka River on a separate footbridge, passes urban approaches and enters Potapovy Luzhki. The ending lies in the northern woodland, separate from the southern departure. A continuous prepared path along every riverbank section is unconfirmed. Before visiting, check actual authorised slope passage, the footbridge and access towards city paths. Arrange independent return; archaeological excavation visits are excluded.

SurfaceFine gravel 22%, Gravel 18%, Dirt 9%, Unknown 49%.
Риски A continuous prepared path is unconfirmed on some riverbank sections. Assess stable ground, vegetation and a safe authorised slope passage. Floods or rain can alter banks and bridge approaches. An unavailable section does not establish passage down to the water or a direct slope shortcut.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 3 h 36 min
С запасом на остановки + 30–60 мин
The northbound variant’s complete duration is unconfirmed. Plan daylight passage only after checking the riverbank connection, allowing for southern access, the bridge and independent northern departure. Return to the southern beginning is excluded.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
Choose dry snow-free conditions, stable banks and daylight. Floods, prolonged rain, snow and ice require reassessing passage. General access to urban sections does not establish safe conditions along the southern riverbank side.
